Numerous incentives are offered, including fee reductions.

For further information, please contact the Planning Division at (760) 839-4671.

CHANGES IN USE IN EXISTING BUILDINGS (Council Agenda Item 4/22/1992)

To encourage revitalization efforts for our existing building stock, tenant improvement permits, such as restaurants, will not be charged wastewater, water, and/or traffic fees, unless the project requires an increased water meter, or sewer line size, or adds significant parking. This policy does not apply to intensive uses such as Laundromats, car washes, breweries, etc., or to the first use in new buildings. Buildings in which the previous use was abandoned for 10 years or more are subject to development fees. (See Fee Example #9, page 29.)

SECOND DWELLING UNITS

In an effort to provide affordable housing in areas where adequate public facilities and services are available, and impacts upon the residential neighborhoods directly affected would be minimal, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 92-42 on November 4, 1992.

The ordinance added Article 70 to the Escondido Zoning Code which establishes standards for second dwelling units.

These units will be considered as room additions for Building Permit fees and will not be charged wastewater, water, traffic, public facility, drainage, and park fees. EMC Section 33-140.

One limitation on these units is that the owner of the property must reside on the parcel on which the unit is located. For further information on Article 70, please contact the Planning Division at (760) 839-4671.

The fee credits have the following limitations:

• Satisfactory documentation must be presented on the existence of the previous building; • Credits are applied to the fees for new projects on the same property (no monetary refunds are

given); • Credit applies only to the property on which the demolitions occurred; • Credit cannot be transferred elsewhere. • Where a property is eligible for multiple fee credits, the credit generating the greater amount shall

ART IN PUBLIC PLACES FEE (PUBLIC ART)

Please refer to Page A1 for Important Fee information

-17-

All development projects, both residential and nonresidential, are subject to the payment of the Art Fee at

Building Permit issuance.

In lieu of paying the fee, applicants are encouraged to place public art on their property following the Public

Art Commission guidelines. Applicants interested in this approach should contact the Public Art Consultant,

Susan Pollack, Community Services Department, at (760) 839-4331 in the early design stages of their

projects.

The Art Fee is currently $0.30/sq. ft. of building area, with the following exceptions:

1. Tenant improvements with no added building area.

2. The first 2000 sq. ft. of any structure. This exception shall not apply on an individual basis to structures

which are part of a larger integrated complex (commercial, industrial and multi-family residential), but

shall apply only to the first 2000 sq. ft. of the complex.

3. For a new SFD, the 2000 sq. ft. exemption shall apply to each detached structure.

4. Residential additions, patio covers, gazebos, etc. (except for work which results in an additional

dwelling unit)

For additions to existing buildings, the following shall apply:

If the existing building is 2,000 sq. ft. or greater, all of the new addition is subject to the fee.

If the existing building is less than 2,000 sq. ft., add the area of the existing to the area of the new

addition. That portion of the total over 2,000 sq. ft. is subject to the fee.

If this were part of an existing complex of buildings (commercial, industrial and multi-family residential) and

one of the buildings was 2,000 sq. ft. or larger, exception #2 above would be utilized and the addition would

be subject to fees for the full square footage.

For existing multi-building (commercial, industrial and multi-family residential) complexes in which a new

building is being added, exception #2 would again be utilized with the 2,000 sq. ft. being applied to one of

the existing buildings.

San Diego County Water Authority

CAPACITY CHARGE

WHO

The San Diego County Water Authority (the "Authority") was organized on June 9, 1944 for the primary purpose of importing water from the Colorado River to San Diego to augment local water supplies. The Water Authority's service area encompasses 920,472 acres (1,438 square miles). It consists of six cities, 16 special districts, one federal agency (Camp Pendleton Military Reservation), and a member of the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors also serves as a representative to the Water Authority Board of Directors. It is governed by a 34-member Water Authority Board of Directors representing the member agencies. The primary function of the Water Authority is to develop, store and transport water for use by its member agencies for delivery to each residence and business. The Water Authority supplies up to 90% of the water used within the County.

WHAT

On May 26, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Water Authority adopted Ordinance No. 2005-03. This ordinance fixes Capacity Charges on all meters purchased on or after August 1, 2005, within the boundaries of the Water Authority.

The System Capacity Charge for a meter size of one (1) inch or greater shall be the basic charge of $3,985 multiplied by a Factor that is based upon additional meter capacity:

The System Capacity Charge is the cost for the conveyance and storage facilities necessary to operate the delivery system.

The Water Treatment Capacity Charge is the cost for the connection to the 50-mgd (million gallons per day) regional water treatment facility. The Water Treatment Capacity Charge is an additional charge of $153 for each new meter of a size less than one inch and a corresponding increase for larger meters. The Water Treatment Capacity Charge excludes customers from the City of Escondido, the member agency whose jurisdiction cannot be serviced by the 50-mgd regional water treatment facility. The member agency shall determine the size of the water meter to serve any property within its jurisdiction. In the event an agency calculates the water demand by the Equivalent Dwelling Unit ("EDU") method, the Water Authority's System Capacity Charge and Water Treatment Capacity Charge will be collected based on the size of meter actually installed to meet flow demand.

-36-

WHY

The assessment of the System Capacity Charge and Water Treatment Capacity Charge on new development is a part of the overall Long Range Financing Plan to fund the Capital Improvement Program. The other major revenue sources are water rates, infrastructure access charges, property taxes and the water standby availability charges.

The System Capacity Charge and Water Treatment Capacity Charge represent a reasonable basis for recovery of costs associated with providing service to new connections in the Water Authority's service area through each member agency. Each member agency's rules and regulations governing the establishment of new or expanded services within its service area will be applicable to the collection of the System Capacity Charge and Water Treatment Capacity Charge for the Water Authority.

WHERE

The Water Authority's System Capacity Charge and Water Treatment Capacity Charge are to be collected from new or expanded water service on all lands within the boundaries of the Water Authority to which water is made available by the Water Authority.

The implementation of the System Capacity Charge and Water Treatment Capacity Charge is discussed in detail in Ordinance No. 2005-03, adopted on May 26, 2005. A copy of this document may be obtained from your water agency or from the San Diego County Water Authority, 4677 Overland Avenue, San Diego, CA 92123.

WHEN Ordinance 90-2 was adopted by the Water Authority's Board of Directors with an effective date of October 1, 1990, with the provision to periodically review the rate based upon changes in the Water Authority's Capital Improvement Program. All meters for new or expanded service on or after that date are subject to Capacity Charges. The charges are collected by member agencies at the time they process and collect charges imposed by their rules and regulations for new or expanded water service. Rate adjustment, which established the current rates, was approved by the Water Authority's Board of Directors on November 30, 2006, with an effective date of January 1, 2007. Rates will increase on January 1, 2007.

*The Certified Energy Analyst Program is managed by the California Association of Building Energy Consultants (CABEC), a private, nonprofit organization that was founded in 1986 to foster the professional development of energy analysts who prepare compliance documentation for the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6. The Certified Energy Analyst (CEA) Program is officially recognized by the California Energy Commission (CEA) as the professional standard for energy compliance.

**The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Program was established by the California Energy Commission (CEC) as required by Public Resources Code Section 25942 to establish regulations to certify home energy rating services in California. These services include field verification and diagnostic testing available through Commission-certified providers and their raters. The goal of the program is to provide reliable information to differentiate the energy efficiency levels among California homes and to guide investment in cost-effective home energy efficiency measures. More information on the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) can be found at http://www.energy.ca.gov/HERS/index.html.
